SAP announced earlier this year during its annual financial press conference that more than 4,000 employees are to leave the company. In the countries where the Group's reorganization has already begun, there is great excitement.
Allegations of age discrimination and unfair conditions in different countries have been raised. Employees in the USA and Canada are sometimes hit the hardest, as employee protection is not as big an issue in both countries as it is in Germany.
Hana and Abap developers around the world, some of whom have been with the company for decades, are being shown the door. On the website "The Layoff", which gives recently fired employees of any company the opportunity to share and comment on what is happening, an anonymous user writes:
"Right now is not a good time to be working at SAP if you have ambitions and want to develop new products."
The feed intended for SAP is full of such comments, but also of employees who are afraid that they will have to leave the company next. Confusion is usually the cause of this fear.
"The most talented people with the most experience, the most productive people, have been fired in the past few days"
comments another anonymous user.
"Why? Why would SAP intentionally fire its best employees?"
"The Layoff" gives a good picture of the current situation of SAP employees: Confusion and fear dominate due to the lack of communication from SAP management.
It remains to be seen how many more loyal employees will have to leave before the comments on "The Layoff" reach SAP CEO Bill McDermott.
